Where you go? How much at signing? How much per month? Please include mileage allowances, buyout prices and car details.

I just recently leased an 07 few months back at niello acura in sacramento.. its a 6spd/navi... put 7000 down so it would drop my montly... I pay 280 a month for 15000 miles/yr... I forgot the buyout at the end but it was like 16500 if I remember correctly...

I leased mine about 4 months ago (07 navi). I only paid TT&L (about 800) down and rolled everything else into the lease. I pay $366 a month w/ 15K miles a year and my residual (buy out at lease end) is something like $17,200 or so.

The best thing you can do is put as little money as possible down. Hell, if you can roll everything in and give $0 down, that would be even better. You'll make more money by investing it than you'll save by putting it down.

Good lord did anyone ever teach you about leasing? 7k down? Are you crazy? You do realize in the event of a total or a theft, that is lost money right? Guys when you lease, the only money you should put down is fee's. Your better off putting the rest in an interest bearing account and taking from that money to subsidize your monthly payment. Putting money down (cap cost reduction) on a lease is crazy.

Acura was running a pretty attractive lease promo for 07's for July. Something like a money factor equivalent to 2% and 59% residual.

For august that changed to a money factor equivalent of 7% same residual but 1k lease cash.

In july i could have leased an 07 auto non nav with just fees for low 300's like 310ish. Now its over 400

I totally agree. When I went for my first lease on An Audi A4 I was ready to put down about 2000-4000 down and the saleman told me not to put any money down when leasing becuase if you total the car or it gets stolen or it is a lemon and unrepairable you lose every penny. he said as long as you can afford the monthly payment, then just pay the fees at signing. he said if you want lower montly payments put a huge down payment and finance the car.

Not a smart move at all. With that down payment you could of bought the car straight out. Your payment would have been $400 if you bought it, thats only $120 more than what you are paying now. Now you are just bascially "renting" a car that will never be yours.

true, but he can always buy the car at lease end. although the lost money in the lease apr rate is gone.
